Barrett Distribution Centers has opened a new facility in Forney, adding a second fulfillment center to its Dallas-area footprint.
The Massachusetts-based company is focused on warehousing, transportation, delivery and fulfillment services across the United States, and Barrett expects the new facility to serve Fortune 100, 500 and 1000 companies, as well as other fast-growing e-commerce brands.
The more than 500,000-square-foot fulfillment hub will be located within Exeter Logistics East at 13991 U.S. Highway 80. 75 jobs will be created initially, with Barrett planning to expand the location in the future.
Barrett’s first foray into the area, a distribution hub at the Garland Logistics Center at 3800 Leon Road, was announced in 2018. The company leased just over 115,000 square feet in the building near Interstate 635.
“Our expansion in Dallas is a key component of our broader strategy to strengthen our national footprint,” Barrett senior vice president Scott Hosem said in a statement.
